Avamar administration opinion

Hello all. I'm looking at moving some pieces of our environment to Avamar from TSM and want some input as to the difficulty of administration compared to TSM. Has anyone out there (I'm assuming someone has) been in charge of both systems and if so what pain points did you have in Avamar compared to TSM?

can you be more specific about the problems you are facing with avamar? I work at a TSM site where they are also interested in Avamar.
Further, in your opinion, do you consider avamar as a complete replacement for TSM?

- Checkpoint
We have a huge problem, 4 days with backup, have to configure the File Servers clients to another avamar;
- Upgrade from 6.0.1 to 6.0.2, storage node goes offline during the upgrade process; 9 hours to complete the upgrade, lost our backup window.
- File Servers backups, very, very slowly backup (EMC still working on that) TSM Backup 3 hours, Avamar Up to 20 H
- Vmware problems, VMware team move a vmware from storage group and we have to remove a vmware from one avamar server to another another
